The needle might be wearing out, the records might be dirty, you could have a cartridge and needle combo that isn't too good or the tonearm on your turntable might not be calibrated correctly. You might be compensating on the mixer so that the mixtape to sounds good on your speakers, when you do that the mixtape doesn't sound as great as it does in your home or where ever you are recording.

Good selection! But quality is letting you down a bit. Sound is good on smaller speakers but if I switched it over to my better ones I noticed it ain't sharp enough. I have problems with sound on my mixtapes as well, I just can't get it to the point where I am satisfied with it, but practice makes us both perfect I guess.
